There is more to healing than wellness or being symptom free. Attitudes, thoughts, an understanding or a willingness to accept our role in how we contribute to our pain is also of importance.

If looking in a dictionary, the word healing is listed as an adjective and is defined as “curing or curative, getting well.” Healing is also listed as a noun and defined as “the act or process of regaining health.”

Although the majority of us would prefer these definitions be the case, they are incomplete of what is required for true healing to take place. There are those times when the healing means being willing to take a look at our beliefs or our habits and how our discomfort might serve us.

The majority of those who end up receiving myofascial release or craniosacral therapy have been through variety of services from chiropractic, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychotherapy or even surgery. Perhaps there has been some progress such as decreased pain to a tolerable level or partial range of motion was achieved. However, progress plateaued or the individual did not reach the original goal.

The final level of healing may very well be at the cellular level which is called tissue memory. The original injury is resolved with myofascial release and craniosacral therapy, whether it is a physical, emotional or mental trauma.

Most often clients who receive myofascial release and craniosacral therapy end up with a restored hope after the very first session. They are reminded of what it feels like to be pain free and deeply relaxed.

When looking at the word hope in the dictionary the definition when used as a noun is “The feeling that what is wanted can be had or events will turn out for the best. A person or thing in which expectations are centered.” When used as a verb, the definition is “To look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence.”

It takes courage to walk into the pain and follow with hope. Hope is not giving into despair. It is the part of our spirit that knows that just because bad things happen, it doesn’t mean we are on the wrong path. In fact when a client leaves the office each time better than they walk in, it is no longer hard to believe they will once again live a vibrant life.

“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

Each one of our lives is an orchestrated journey. Every part of our life is meaningful and significant. We underestimate and dishonor ourselves when we continue to push through our stressful days, not giving thought as to what we are actually doing to our bodies. When someone needs to control each situation or the people in their lives, it is usually happening out of fear. It is often stemming from a lack of self worth or humiliation from the past. They are mistaking control for power.

What happens when we posture ourselves out of fear is we actually lose power. When we start to protect ourselves, our hearts, and our ego’s, we eventually become captive in our own body suit. This protection keeps the body tightly held together. We lose mobility, our neck and chest tightens, our gastro-intestinal tracts and digestion pay a price, we begin to experience severe or persistent headaches, our shoulders and hips begin to ache and this affects our gait. Posturing and protecting literally puts us in a straight jacket of our own skin and fascia. One may think that they’re protected, however they are becoming more and more powerless.

It takes great courage and a feeling of self worth to allow another in to assist with undoing the damage that has been done. The meaning of being empowered according to the dictionary is “to give power or authority to; authorize; to enable or permit.”

Myofascial release and craniosacral techniques are just what you need to take your power back from the fear, anger, resentment, and revenge that has begun to quite literally tie you down.

Are you at a point in your life where you are ready to try something new? Are you tired and exhausted from following the conventional approach to ridding yourself of pain, restrictions, and cloudy thinking? Or, are you ready for restoration of your body’s effectiveness and a return to health perhaps even better than a former state of health?The dictionary defines renewal as; “to restore or replenish, to revive, re-establish, recover, to restore to a former state, as if new again, to begin again, rebirth, to have an awakening.”

The techniques of myofascial release and craniosacral therapy allows the body to unwind and return to its original homeostasis. It restores range of motion, renews blood flow, and restores organ function that has been restricted by the fascia.

When getting off of the table, clients often state they feel like a “new person” or like they’ve “lost 20 pounds”. They state that they cannot believe how much more full of life and revitalized they feel.
